Kathy’s Snakey Bornella

Cool sea breeze, hot sun and tranquil sea conditions return to the resort after two weeks of unexpectedly rough weather. Crystal clear water once again greets divers as they make their way to the dive boats. The departure of the unseasonal pounding waves sees many more of our resident critters back too: medium-sized grey warty and orange painted frogfishes, Pegasus seamoths and of course, the all-time photographers’ favourite, harlequin shrimps— in one memorable dive 11 of them were found in Laha!

The calm sea also means that guests at Maluku Divers could once more enjoy our offer of unlimited diving on our amazing and intriguing house reef. Ms. Kathryn Carl, a much loved repeat (repeat) guest of the resort and an avid night diver, took up the offer last night and she was not disappointed: she saw a snakey bornella (bornella anguilla) for the first time! She shares her prized picture of the interesting nudibranch below. We’re waiting for Kathy to become a repeat, (repeat, repeat) guest again next season!
